I'd like to know your opinion if you were out driving on the fwy at the posted speed limit and this person was doing 125+klm's and either flew right past you or come up behind your rear, hmm even better it's people like this that like to tailgate when lanes merge into one because they can not do 125+klm anymore. |

The Traffic police have a job to do. IMHO sounds like the traffic cop has done the right thing. The person who lost there licence WAS breaking the law what else do you expect for it? A slap on the hand and on your merry way? If the police dont take a stand on people breaking the law then everyone will be speeding and we will then end up with a massive road toll. You get what you deserve for breaking the law.

Or is it because you are an idiot that sits below the speed limit or blocks people from overtaking in the outside lane. You are deducing that about this bloke being a tailgater, so in turn your comments suggest you are a right hand lane logging knob. It makes about as much sense as your tailgating comment. 125km/h on Aussie country highways is a perfectly safe speed in many conditions. Just that we swallow all this crap put out by the road safety industry about lowering limits all the time and wear it. NT introduced limits recently and suffered their worst road toll in years....

well i personally think its your mates problem, and you shouldnt worry about it too much...i guess you could learn from his mistakes :P, and never getting into this situation...well wish your mate all the best but like what everyone has mentioned before, i dont think he will be able to get his licence back esp when doing 25+ over the limit....i hope he learns from this, when he does get his licence back....

This anarchistic ideology is stupid in the extreme. the relative merits and appropriate setting of speed limits is a totally different topic, to accept or condone traveling above let alone well above the posted limits is both stupid and dangerous full stop.
Speed differential between vehicles IS a huge factor in accidents, especially when one is traveling well above the posted limit while everyone else respects them.....
